When we examine religions as a whole but also holistically as well, we cannot exclude Animism and Shamanism, and more so for a very simple reason which concerns universality. Because if the latter is a criterion for religions founded upon sacred texts, then we can not avoid it as a traditional religion which remain at the oral level. We see therefore that Animism and Shamanism are present in many and completely different regions of the world, a factor which proves that these are not merely local religions. Even if some interpret them as simplistic, an estimation which does not make sense at an anthropological level, they can not avoid accepting their geographical range nor their presence in depth of time. Consequently, we do have a paradox, since they leave a trace in the history of Humanity, without however using a written language. We can not therefore understate them, as their presence is a bare fact which does not merely constitute a phenomenon, unless of course we approach them with racist criteria which challenge the Rights of Humanity.
